obama zeroed in on manufacturing? well, have a look at what our research department put together for us today. this graph tracks the loss of manufacturing jobs over the last 20 years. in 1998, there were nearly 18 million of these higher paying jobs, but we went off a cliff in 2001 and then came the great recession. by 2010, six million manufacturing jobs were gone. as you can see, lately, it is picking up, but slowly. the president's biggest proposal last night for working americans is something that the government wouldn't have to pay for: an increase in the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour, where it is now, to $9. 19 states and the district of columbia have a minimum wage that's already higher than the federal rate, but only one of them, washington state, pays $9 or more, as the president seeks. those who would have to pay for this had the reaction today that you might expect, and here's anthony mason. >> reporter: at cafe joey's italian restaurant in texas... >> was everything okay? >> it was perfect. >> reporter:
